From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: If i configure up2date to use a proxy server, then i go to another place where that proxy hostname is no longer valid, up2date does not run, it dies silently without a warning or an error message. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.configure up2date to use your proxy server 2.launch up2date from the RHN applet in the panel 3.it works fine 4.go to a different network where the hostname you configured for a proxy is not valid 5.launch up2date from the RHN applet in the panel Actual Results: nothing happens. up2date dies silently, but the user does not get any notification on that Expected Results: up2date should prompt an error message saying "proxy not available" or something like that Additional info: this bug is very bad for laptop users. when going to a different network, up2date dies misteriously. also, there are way too many places to configure a proxy server. all applications, including the RHN applet and up2date should use the setting configured in the Preferences / Network Proxy menu.
